    I would move to an iPhone if they made one the size of my android.

      The Jitterbug has a huge screen plus a giant keypad.
      I have seen the ads in the AARP magazine I throw out in the garbage every month.

      Ditch the hipster pants. 5″ is not that big (no TWSS).

        3.5″ was too big in 2007.

          So true, and I was saying that at the time. Thing is, if you carry a phone in your pocket, you won’t carry anything else in that pocket or you will scratch the phone. 5″ is really not a problem for me.

      I switched to the Galaxy S4 from my Iphone a couple months ago and i picked up my wife’s iphone yesterday and almost barfed the experience felt so bad. Samsung is taking over and Apple better stop rationalizing quickly…

    Fly. Tim C takes over after God leaves the scene. It’s a tough act to follow and you are being much to hard on Tim. I predict a comeback for Mr. Cook.

      I predict a comeback for AAPL — but only once Cook is out.

      They need to replace him with a younger more charismatic person from out of left field.

      The situation is getting Ballmer-esque already.

      Cook knows shit about innovation, beating others to the punch, and delivering a highly marketable presentation like Jobs, and apple is doomed to selling the same phone until they can’t. Apple is supposed to be the innovator so it can capture the high end price yet how does it do that with an inferior product. Fortunately it still is a value stock, they still have no debt and jobs at least made it hard to fuck up the company… but Cook is trying damn hard to do so and the days of obliterating everyone and taking over the world are gone like AOL.

    Can’t believe we will most likely have to wait another year for a big phone. Such a no brainer.

    Thought I would write about the joke of a medical system we have.
    I have had an insurance policy for years with a $10,000 deductible.
    Confirmed with the Doc today that I have the hernia and surgery is scheduled.
    He required pre op blood work and ekg.
    The normal labs (like Quest wanted to charge $3-400). I said screw you and found a private lab that charged me $70 with a $20 coupon. The results come back on Quest paper and 5 days quicker.
    I go to get the ekg and all want to nail me for about $1200.
    Found an outpatient facility, told them I have cash, and they gave me the medicare rate of $322 (after some negotiation).
    Now I’m working on a cash discount with the surgeon,facility,anesthesiologist,etc.
    It’s like buying a car.
    Never pay retail.
    The system is horrible (already knew that).

        No, I just don’t like getting ripped off.
        I’m sure one doesn’t pay the MSRP on cars.
        Plus, I used to represent hospitals (15-20) when I practiced law and I know what happens.
        Used to do some work on occasion for facilities up your way (Mt. SinaI, Presbyterian, Nassau County Medical, LI Jewish, etc.)

          Nearsighted ? Farsighted ? …. I can fix it in your home at your leisure. I only ask that your home be empty of loved ones that may want to watch. I will use a local anasthesic and request a high end sound system for classical music to help soothe your anxieties. Do you have a high end sound system ?

    Women like the bigger phones, guys need one that fits in the pocket, make both. Plus one-handed use is important to many, and any bigger than the iPhone 5 requires 2 hands..

      That’s why they need 2 models. A 4″ and something larger like a 5″ model.

        thats why you’ll need a purse. I guess people miss MC Hammer pants too… they used to carry brick phones in them too.

      How about the Isocket. You never have to charge it because it hooks into your eyeball socket and is powered by your neural network in your brain…

      MSFT is essentially the NSA network. The windows 8 “calls home” and basically can transmit anything and everything you do on your computer.

    Decent earnings, now its time to look ahead at what we can reasonably deduce: Apple will be over 600 by spring, as 3 things are all but a given:

    a larger phone
    a cheaper phone
    at least one new product launch (watch or tv or both)

    After this, Samsung will be seen for what it is – cheap plastic with no integrated ecosystem. Add on a China Mobile deal and we are over 700.

    Stop over thinking it people.
